Microcontrollers are divided into categories according to their memory, architecture, bits and instruction sets. Generally we use 8051 Microcontroller, PIC Microcontroller, AVR Microcontroller, AMR ...

Microcontroller port pins can typically be driven either high or low, or else be put into an "input" or high-impedance state. This circuit uses the three states to drive two separate LEDs with one ...

Cypress Semiconductor is sampling a USB Type-C cable controller which includes power delivery (PD) on a small footprint. It is designed for use in 2.4mm thin USB Type-C cable connectors. The ...

Inputting multiple bits of information using a single entry pin of a microcontroller without the complexity of UARTs can prove useful. Such a scheme could allow scanning of a keyboard, mode switches, ...

Rotary encoders are pretty interesting pieces of technology. They’re a solid way to accurately measure rotation including the direction. [David] recently wrote some software to handle these input ...
